Welcome to the Dynasty Owner (@dynasty_owner) podcast with your hosts Jay Pounds (@jaypoundsnfl) and Steve Van Tassell (@SteveVT33).
NFL free agency is less than a week away now, franchise tags have been applied and if you play in a salary cap fantasy football league like Dynasty Owner, this is an exciting time of year. The Dynasty Owner new league year starts on Friday, March 17th and Steve and Jay are here to help Dynasty Owners get ready for it.
The first discussion was about the new contracts for Derek Carr and Geno Smith and if they were worth keeping in Dynasty Owner at their new $37.5 million (Carr) and $35 million (Smith) salaries. After that they discussed the first wave of franchise tags - Josh Jacobs ($10.091 million), Tony Pollard ($10.091 million) and Evan Engram ($11.345 million). Who do they think is worth the money and will get a long-term extension? Finally, they offer a few predictions about the franchise tag situation for Lamar Jackson, Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.
Since this episode was recorded before those players had their contract situations resolved, you can find out if they were correct or not with their predictions. Come listen to the Dynasty Owner podcast and learn more about how to play fantasy football with a salary cap and real NFL salaries!
